Washing the MINI (in pictures)

Posted in My MINI,video — by db on 02/28/08

MINI was looking pretty rough the other day, then I remember I work for a car wash company! And, since it rains mud at el casa, I was way past due. So, to the car wash Roxy went!

And, when she was done?

Not bad, considering this.

Cool new features might be coming to dbmini very soon. Check the ‘other’ blog to see what it might be.

Something new

Posted in other.blogs — by db on 02/27/08

In case you have not been keeping up with Motoringfile this week, Gabe re-opened the News Room!

Today we’ve (once again) added a new way to read MINI related news from around the web. Some long time MF readers may remember the old 2005 edition of the NewsRoom. While the site proved successful, we eventually had to shelve the concept due to not enough time to devote to developing it. However we’re happy to announce that, starting today, it’s back.

MF, if you have forgotten, was the first MINI site with an RSS feed, so it’s appropriate that Gabe got it going again. It’s still very much in beta as more feeds are added and the design/layout gets tweaked a bit, but it is very much functional.

Definitely worth checking out! Besides, I kinda helped get it going again, so it’s the least I can do to help promote it ;)

Something I’ll miss

Posted in MINI General,My MINI — by db on 02/27/08

As you already know, I’m not a huge fan of the sunroof. Well, actually I am, but summers in SoCal get pretty warm, and that sunroof makes the inside of the MINI hot like an oven. But there are some days, like yesterday, when it’s nice to have.

10am, driving to the office. Temperature was 75-78 degrees. Windows down, sunroof open, stereo straining to blast louder than the wind.

Awesome.

On days like yesterday, and probably today, I’ll miss the sunroof on my next MINI. Come June, July, August and September tho, forget it!

Maybe someone will come up with a better screen? If more of the sun was blocked, I’d re-think it for sure.

Site For Sale

I was talking with Mark earlier today and, sadly, he is looking to sell GoMotoring.com and Motoringcards.com.

Great sites with huge earning potential from ad space! My average annual income form these ads spots is $3000+

GoMotoring.com is the best MINI News Portal out there! Every 15 minutes it pulls RSS feeds from all over the MINI web and gives users the news as its happening.

It runs on the easiest blog software out there, WORDPRESS.

MotoringCards.com is the coolest spot to send your friends eCards focusing on our great little MINI.

Asking price is only $2800 for both sites and domain names. I’d buy them myself if I had the cash. You can get more information at NAM and contact Mark here.

Anyone of you interested?

I finally see a Clubman

Posted in video — by db on 02/18/08

Stopped by my dealer tonight on the way ho….

Here, just watch

It’s dark at the begining, I know, but Roxy sounded great so I couldn’t trash it. Next time I’ll have a light or during the say. Don’t worry though, you’ll be able to see the Clubman just fine.
